GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Enthusiast Photographers Who Prioritise Style And Resolution — X-T50 (2024): The most stylish 40MP camera available — a Film Simulation dial, a compact body, and flagship sensor quality.
Retro Compact Collectors — Cyber-shot DSC-T700 (2008): A touchscreen Sony from 2008 — the DSC-T700 was ahead of its time with a 3.5" touch display, but belongs in a collection rather than a kit bag today.
